Go compact or standard? How many times do cyclists ask themselves this same question before a race or before purchasing a bicycle? And for amateur cyclists in particular, this can be a very common dilemma.Campagnolo provides the answer in its 2013 range with the new chainset with 36/52 chainrings which, used in conjunction with one of the 5 sprocket options, represents the perfect choice for both long, straight and fast roads and more challenging uphill climbs.

This was something that riding enthusiasts have long been waiting for, and which Campagnolo is now proud to present to the world.

Why 52/36 rather than any other combination? The reason is simple. Campagnolo wanted to offer the broadest range of ratios possible, but with no loss in the vital prerequisite of derailing quality. This chainset offers the same derailing speed and precision as standard or compact components.

About
Chainsets

Your chainset must fit onto your bottom bracket! There are currently four chainset/bottom bracket interfaces that you're likely to come across. If your bottom bracket is made by Shimano and it has splines, then you need an Octalink chainset. If your b/b is NOT made by Shimano and it has splines, it's almost certainly ISIS. There are a very few non-Shimano chainsets with Shimano Octalink interfaces so, to be sure, count the splines - ISIS has 9, Octalink has (surprise, surprise) 8. No matter which brand of b/b you have, if it has a square interface, it will require a traditional square taper chainset. If you have one of the new Hollowtech II systems, you will need to choose the exact chainset that matches your bottom bracket. Most MTB chainsets are now 9-speed compatible but these will work with an 8-speed system.

Good all round gear ratio
The 52/36 combination is a great in between gearing ratio compared to the 34/50 & 53/39. From the climbing side of things it gets me up the hills comfortably without spinning the legs off. There is a small trade off on the flat (for me its negligible). Its a good all round gear ratio for the hills & flats.
